Home theater sound setup
Place your speakers as shown below for
optimal surround sound (see the Speaker
Setup Guide for more placement tips).
•
Standard surround setup – This is a
standard multichannel surround sound
speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel
home theater sound.
Depending on the size and characteristics of
your room, you can choose to use the following
setup option:
1
•
Front surround setup – This setup is ideal
when rear surround speaker placement
isn’t possible or you want to avoid running
long speaker cables in your listening area.
After placing your speakers, see Using the
Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound
below to complete your surround setup.
Using the Auto MCACC setup for
optimal surround sound
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC)
system measures the acoustic characteristics of
your listening area, taking into account ambient
noise and testing for channel delay and channel
level. After you have set up the microphone
provided with your system, the receiver uses the
information from a series of test tones to optimize
the speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic
Calibration EQ) for your particular room.
2
Important
• These test tones are loud; however, do not
turn the volume down during setup as this
may result in a sub-optimal calibration.
• Make sure the mic and speakers are not
moved during the MCACC setup.
1
Connect the microphone to the MCACC
MIC jack on the rear panel.
Note
